Roads closed , detour ahead !!

[@williamfenner9915]

@@rodpreston100 They don't have any of the mini barrels in the area where I live. They just drive around the road closed signs like they were not there.

[@rodpreston100]

I know right!!! Same as here , it’s always ,,, oh I didn’t see the sign,,, well you had to drive on the wrong side of the road to get around it lmao 🍻🍻🤣

@@rodpreston100 When they replaced the street in front of my house. People who lived there were the ones who were supposed to come and go. One day one of my former co-workers came by four times. He stopped, and asked what I doing. I responded watching Idots that did not have any business to come up, and down the closed street. He said Like Me!. I didn't give him a response to this one

No tracer wire? I figure an A valve was not far away but no way for a locator to hook up to the hydrant for locates in the future? Hello from Chicagoland BTW!! Good video!

Greetings from Thailand. Couldn't you have dug a bigger hole!? Your British counterparts wouldn't have dug out anywhere near as much! I'm retired now but I used to work for Severn Trent Water in the UK.

[@rodpreston100]

The camera does not show slope very good , it was a very safe ditch , we always take more then most people, we all want to go home at the end of the day

[@Gavlaagreens123]

Here in the UK the road would of been closed for 3 days ,and that's before any work started . Would of taken 5 different groups of men to do the separate jobs 😂

[@3d4u2c]

We all got our earplugs in , and safety glasses 😁🍻

[@dawolf7784]

Master plumber here . I’m hoping you guys actually had the water turned on to the hydrant and tested before you backfilled and you just didn’t show it ?

[@rodpreston100]

Had to wait for the thrust block to set before we turn the hydrant valve back on

[@rodpreston100]

Figured a master plumber would know that lol

[@rodpreston100]

I think they waited till the street department reinstated the curb and asphalt,, but yes
